A stranger kidnapped the young woman off the street, blindfolded her with his shirt and stuffed her into his closet.

He stopped to make a phone call. Then the hours of savage degradation began.

Kasagama Olimi brutally raped her again and again.

He forced her to perform oral sex until she vomited then made her clean it up. He ripped her nipples with his nails until they bled.

He told her he had a knife, and that he was videotaping her violation to prove she was doing it willingly.

“Tell me you want it,” ordered Olimi, who’d told her he’d hold her captive for a week, but finally let her going after taking her to withdraw cash from an ATM.

All the while, he was wearing an electronic monitoring anklet as part of his sentence for raping and terrorizing an acquaintance in her dorm room. The phone call had been to his supervisor to report he had returned home late from work.

He’d only been out of jail for two months since the night he broke down the teen’s door. He held a knife to her neck, saying “I could cut your throat.”

Then he raped her and forced her to perform oral sex during hours of sheer terror.

“You like this,” he told her.

Olimi was barely 18 years old at the time.

Seven years later, the sexual sadist and “dangerous serial rapist” is one of the rare offenders who must be locked up indefinitely, Judge Colin McKinnon ruled Wednesday.

“Since he poses a serious threat to women until he is about age 50, the only way society can be protected is by designating (him) to be a dangerous offender,” McKinnon said.

Olimi has “a natural predisposition to violent sexual assault,” a problem with booze and the ability to weave “a tapestry of lies” to cover his crimes.

A psychiatrist testified that Olimi is most turned on by “rape suffering” scenarios, including women’s bones being broken, is at the highest risk to reoffend and will be a danger well into middle age.

As a dangerous offender, he will be locked up indefinitely with a review after he’s spent seven years behind bars and every two years thereafter.

Olimi listened from the prisoner’s dock, a shiny red Adidas track suit draped over his bulk, now massive from the drugs used to chemically castrate him.

Watching, too, was the devastated woman he kidnapped and raped, who’d asked the judge to make sure she’d never have to face him on the street ever again.

The morning after the rape, crying and covered with dirt, she asked her boyfriend if he would still love her.

Once outgoing and adventurous, she’s now afraid, she wrote in a victim-impact statement.

Olimi made her do things she’d never experienced with her “true love” — who remains by her side — and their lives will never be the same.

“I was kidnapped, sexually assaulted for four hours,” she wrote.

“I was raped. At that moment, I wasn’t the same woman.”

LOCAL DANGEROUS OFFENDERS:

Robert Dupuis raped a 21-year-old woman in 2008 and choked her so hard she soiled herself. It was three years after he got out of prison for trying to rape a woman before breaking into a couple’s home, trying to knife the husband to death and terrorizing his wife.

Frederick Radcliffe, a pedophile with psychopathic traits who thwarted drugs to reduce his sex drive by getting Viagra, has 14 sex convictions, including raping a 13-year-old girl he offered a ride home from Tim Hortons in his van in 2007.

Emmanuel Innocent put a gun to the head of an Ottawa Police officer and pulled the trigger in a Byward Market strip joint in 2005 but the hammer fell on the only empty chamber. He has gang ties and a long, violent record including stabbing another prisoner six times.

COMING UP:

John Cox, 49, is expected to learn April 23 whether a judge will deem him a dangerous offender. He was convicted of a savage 2011 attack on his girlfriend – the sixth partner he terrorized – in which he kicked her in the face with steel-toed boots and put a knife in her mouth. His long record includes attacks on police officers, jail guards, his brother, sister and total strangers.

Serial rapist locked up to protect women: Judge

A "dangerous serial rapist" and sexual sadist is one of the rare offenders who has to be locked up indefinitely to protect women, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Kasagama Olimi kidnapped a 21-year-old woman off the street, blindfolded her and savagely attacked her for hours, raping her and forcing her to perform oral sex while telling him she liked it. It was "brutal and prolonged."

At the time of that attack in the summer of 2007, Olimi was wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet.

It was part of his release after he did the same thing to an acquaintance in her University of Ottawa dorm room two years earlier in a "sordid, night-long rape."
